Unlocking will only allow you to write to the system partition of the internal memory. Installing the custom recovery is where the magic happens. You need to boot into recovery, and install either "root" or a custom rom which will typically come pre-rooted. Your phone is saying it's not rooted, because it's unlocked, custom recovery, but not rooted yet.

My girlfriend has a nexus coming in the next day r 2 and was wondering what u guys thought should I swap her for my s2 or keep the s2 I like it but the nexus looks nicer and has a much better display and I like the 3 button home row but idk yet any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I own both the Gnex and Note 2 on Verizon. Go with the Note 2. My G Nexus has turned into nothing but an iPod touch running CM10.
